I agree, I setup a test machine and I did the rh9 upgrade and it trashed the rpm's I had created from source (ssh, samba). They had to be redownloaded and rebuilt. Any customizing gets messed up.
I also tried installing apache from source successfully with mod_perl but I had to leave both the redhat and source versions on the machine. I just don't have the time to deal with these changes now and I worry about dependencies.
I'm considering a full source install of something like Gentoo, but again, I need to try it out on the test machine. It's nothing that helps my immeadiate situation.
I'll have to stick with vanilla perl/cgi for now, not a bad option.
Thanks, Tom

Unless you are very comfortable with system hacking I would caution against upgrading from RH8 to RH9 just to get the latest mod_perl, as there are numerous other changes which would demand your attention.
Compiling from the latest sources would be my choice.
